dm-crypt vs Luks: What’s the difference on disk

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




Hi,

I was wondering why a plain dm-crypt partition looks like random data while with a Luks partition an attacker will know that the partition is encrypted. What is exactly the difference on disk? Is it the header that would tell someone thats an encrypted partition? Would a Luks partition with a detached header change this situation?

Thanks.
